Understand that the display-manager runs on the server, and will therefore only be able to shutdown the server. Unless you want your users to be able to shutdown your server, you don't want that button to show up on the terminals. > and of > course, this woulndt be complete, without a nice > little app for the sysadmin, to turn off clients from > the server, eather via gui front end, shell or even > web (and in the process clean up the server before > powering the terminal off) 8D I don't know about gdm, but kdm has problems if a terminal is simply shutdown with the powerbutton -as long as no user is logged in at that terminal. > That guys, would be cool! 8D Yes it would, but it would only work on newer terminals (AFAIK only ATX boxes can shutdown themselves). Besides, shutdown in busybox does not actually DO anything (at least that is my experience). -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG key: 1024D/7050614E (currently active subkey 03CE8884) Fingerprint: 1408 C8D5 1E7D 4C9C C27E 014F 7C2C 872A 7050 614E Key available at keyserver.kjsl.com Encrypted emails prefered.
